Liu Renyu sent away a group of subordinates, and said to Liu Wuguo, who was still drinking tea: "Brother, the matter of tomorrow's expedition has been arranged, so why don't you follow your younger brother all the way to the Sihai Restaurant to meet the people of the Du family?" ”

"Hey, okay, let me finish this tea before leaving. I said, Brother Xian, I'm afraid that your tea is not brewed with the water of the Lu River, nor is it made with well water? ”

"How does my brother know? I knew that my brother had always lived a delicate life, so he ordered his subordinates to turn the falling snow into clear water and use it to make tea. ”

"That's right, our land in Shaanxi is barren, and even the water is bitter, so if you use the water from the river or the well to make tea, the fragrance of the tea will be covered, and the tea will be wasted.

Liu Renyu said in his heart that you are purely thinking too much, I am just too far away and don't want to go to the well to get water, so I took the snow nearby and turned it into clear water to make tea, but I didn't think that there were such benefits. But he said: "I know that my brother loves tea, so I specially asked someone to do this." ”

"Brother Xian has a heart." Liu Wuguo said with a smile.

"Hospitality, as it should be, and besides, my brother and I are not a good part, don't you say?"

"Well, Brother Xian is right." Liu Wuguo agreed, took a few sips, drank the tea in the cup, and then said, "Let's go, brother Xian." ”

When Liu Renyu saw his situation, he said with a smile: "My brother loves to drink tea, and when I get to Sihai Restaurant later, I will have my own good tea to drink, and I will ensure that my brother can drink it comfortably." ”

"It's also said that the Du family is also a big family in Yansui, and it won't be bad if you want to come to tea."

"My brother said it very much. Fujian Jianning tea, do you say it's delicious? ”

"Fujian Jianning tea, the first tea in the world, is naturally delicious. Could it be that there is such good tea in the Four Seas Restaurant? ”

"Yes, yes."

"So what are you waiting for? Brother Xian, let's go to the Four Seas Restaurant and quickly meet the people of the Nadu family. Liu Wuguo heard that there was good tea to drink, so he said eagerly.

"Brother, please come with me."

Liu Renyu chuckled, walked to the outside of his mansion, rode on a horse, and took Liu Wuguo, Wei Zhongyi, the two generals, and their personal entourage, and went in the direction of Sihai Restaurant.

When Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo galloped to the left side of the Sihai Restaurant, a little two came out to greet them.

That Xiao Er was working in Jingbian Fort, so he naturally knew Liu Renyu. It was because Liu Renyu was still very far away from the door of the restaurant, so the little two put on a flattering smile, trotted in front of Liu Renyu, bowed and said: "Yo, I mean that the magpie at our door is very happy today, it turns out that you are coming from Master Liu." ”

"Xiao Xizi, can your young lady be in the restaurant?" Liu Renyu asked the little two.

"Back to Master Liu, my young lady is in the restaurant." Kiko replied respectfully.

"Keep our horses on a leash." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he casually threw out a little scattered silver taels.

Xiao Xizi saw that Liu Renyu's hand was raised, and he threw out a shiny thing, his eyes were quick, and he took it in his hand and looked at it, almost five coins of silver.

"Thank you for your reward." Xiao Xizi saw that Liu Renyu was generous, so he first smiled and thanked him, and then shouted and cheered, beckoning his subordinates to tie horses to a few guests, and he himself walked in front with his waist hunched, and while probing back, he fell and said, "A few masters, please." ”

"Take us to the Peony Pavilion, prepare the brazier, put on a pot of good tea, use Fujian Jianning tea for tea, use snow water for tea, and then invite your young lady to meet me." Liu Renyu commanded repeatedly.

"Yes, Master Liu, you wait a minute, the little one will ask someone to invite Miss."

After Xiao Xizi finished speaking, he ran straight to the lobby of the restaurant and whispered to another Xiao Er, who immediately ran towards the back of the lobby. It seems that I went to invite Miss Du.

After Xiao Xizi finished the arrangement, he came to the counter and said to the shopkeeper Du who was still dialing the plan and was busy settling the accounts: "The shopkeeper, Master Liu is here." ”

The shopkeeper Du, who was writing and painting, heard that Liu Renyu was coming, so he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, bowed and saluted: "The little one doesn't know that the adults are coming to our store, and they are not welcome, so please atone for their sins." ”

Seeing this, Liu Renyu smiled and waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Du, don't be formal, I'm not here for office work, I'm here for dinner, and your Du family doesn't have anything to do with me, just be casual." ”

"Yes, yes, adult, little one knows." Shopkeeper Du agreed with a smile, turned his face, and said solemnly to Xiao Xizi: "Xiao Xizi, I will serve Lord Liu, if you neglect Lord Liu, be careful of your legs." ”

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper, the little one knows." Xiao Xizi agreed.

"A few masters, please upstairs." After Xiao Xizi finished talking to the shopkeeper Du, he took Liu Renyu and a few other guests upstairs.

"Well, brother, let's go up."

After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he followed Xiao Xizi and walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, and everyone followed upstairs in turn.

When everyone was going up the stairs, Liu Wuguo grabbed a few steps and asked Liu Renyu: "Brother Xian, brother, I have only heard you for a long time, how can I hear that the Du family's words are a woman!?" ”

"It's a woman, what's wrong?"

Liu Renyu came from later generations, and strong women have seen a lot, so they don't think it's strange, but Liu Wuguo is not from later generations, so he is a little surprised by this.

"Is there no one in the Du family? Actually let a woman take care of things, besides, did the woman's family do the master? Liu Wuguo wondered.

"Brother, I'm afraid you don't know, Master Du only has four daughters under his knees, three of them are married, and there is such a little daughter left, and Master Du heard that he is old and has handed over all the affairs of the family to Miss Du to take care of, so she can call the shots." Liu Renyu saw that Liu Wuguo had questions, so he explained.

"Just one daughter is not married, Master Du will leave all the affairs of the family to this daughter to take care of." Liu Wuguo chewed on the information provided by Liu Renyu for a while, suddenly slapped his palm, and said to Liu Renyu with bright eyes: "Brother Xian, it's a pity, brother, if I am still dozens of years younger, I want to be a son-in-law and marry Miss Nadu, so that the money will not be spent exhaustively." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Wuguo couldn't help but sigh and said sadly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's not the right time." ”

Liu Renyu heard Liu Wuguo say these words on the side, and he was secretly amused at first, but he then thought about it, and suddenly felt that Liu Wuguo's idea had some inspiration for him, the Du family and him Liu Renyu are cooperating, if Liu Renyu and Du Ruonan become husband and wife, then this cooperative relationship will be even closer.

When Liu Renyu thought of this, he couldn't help but go through Miss Du's appearance in his mind, and he felt that he was very willing to marry her, but he didn't know if Miss Du was willing.

"If you marry Miss Du, what will Sun Yuyun do? Ping's wife doesn't know if the two of them agree, even if both families agree, if I want to join the Du family, I don't know if the Sun family will agree? ”

This Liu Renyu listened to Liu Wuguo's words, and thought about such marriage and love things in his mind over and over again.

When he thought about it for a while, everyone had already walked to the Peony Pavilion, and Xiao Xizi took the guests upstairs and went down. On the fourth floor of the Four Seas Restaurant, it is a place where distinguished guests come, and there is a special person to serve them.

At the door of the Peony Pavilion, there are two hair partings, a round ball-shaped hairstyle on each side of the head, wearing a blue jacket, a beautiful maid dressed as a girl, opens the door of the Peony Pavilion, and then gives a blessing and invites a few guests in.

Liu Renyu asked Liu Renjie and the other guards to find another room to rest, and then he made a gesture of invitation and asked Liu Wuguo to enter the house.

Liu Wuguo saw that Liu Renyu did not bring his personal guards into the room, so he ordered Wei Zhongyi and the others very interestingly: "With Renyu's personal entourage, find a place to rest, and I will call you again if there is something." ”

"Yes, General." Wei Zhongyi and the others agreed, and followed Liu Renjie and the others to rest temporarily in the Jasmine Pavilion next to the Peony Pavilion.

After settling his subordinates, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo entered the Peony Pavilion and sat down next to the Eight Immortals table.

When the two generals were seated, the two maids standing at the door carried a brazier and placed it in front of the two generals.

After a while, one of the maids put the tea on the table and said with a soft smile: "Two distinguished guests, my young lady said that she would have to work hard before she could meet the guests, so I asked the two customers to stay for a while." ”

When the two generals of the Liu family heard that Miss Du was going to be tidy up, they all thought it was just a cup of tea. As a result, the two generals drank more than a dozen teas one after another, and Liu Renyu went to the thatched house because he drank too much water, and only then did the maid come to report that Du Ruonan had finished his work and came to meet the guests.

Not long after the maid finished reporting the letter and withdrew, the two generals of the Liu family heard the sound of wearing rings outside the door, and a faint fragrance hit.

Then, the door of the Peony Pavilion opened, and Du Ruonan, who was dressed in white, stepped into the house, and when he saw the two generals of the Liu family, he saluted and said, "The two distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time." ”

Liu Renyu hurriedly said: "They are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be formal." ”

When Du Ruonan heard this, he responded gently, and then took small steps and sat down beside the two generals of the Liu family.

It was only then that Liu Renyu noticed that Du Ruonan seemed to be wearing makeup today. In this way, Liu Renyu figured out why she had to wait so long for Miss Du to come to see her, it turned out that she was putting on makeup.

When Liu Renyu figured out why Du Ruonan came to meet him so late, Du Ruonan lightly opened his lips and asked, "Lord Liu, dare to ask who this distinguished guest you brought today, can you introduce the little girl?" ”

"Oh, oh, look at my memory, this is General Liu Wuguo, the guerrilla commander of Yulin Town, who came south with me to rescue Yan'an on the orders of the Hongjun Gate."

"Really!" At this time, Du Ruonan was most concerned about the safety of Yan'an City, and now he heard that Liu Wuguo was sent by Hong Chengchou to rescue Yan'an, so he had a very good impression of Liu Wuguo.

"Since General Liu is going to rescue Yan'an, he is going to save the little girl's family, and he is the benefactor of the little woman, so the little woman will invite the two Liu Ye and the two of them to have a meal with their relatives?"

Liu Renyu has never refused to eat and drink, so he readily agreed, and Liu Wuguo saw that Liu Renyu agreed to come down on his behalf, so he ate a good meal with peace of mind, after all, Sihai Restaurant is still a well-known restaurant in Yansui, and the quality of the food is guaranteed.

However, he still had to say politely: "Suppressing thieves is within my boundaries, how can I eat Miss Du's wine and dinner because of this matter?" ”

"General Liu, the little girl has already said that the little girl's family is still in Yan'an, and now the thieves are besieging the city, life and death are unpredictable, the general led the troops to save the little woman's family, so this meal of wine and rice is naturally to be eaten, right?"

"Miss Du is right, then Liu will have the cheekiness to eat your wine and dinner." Liu Wuguo had already finished his sentence politely, thinking that he would not leave such a bad influence as love taking advantage of Du Ruonan's heart, so he readily agreed.

When Du Ruonan saw that the two generals agreed to eat, he asked him to prepare wine and dinner.

And Liu Renyu was determined to tell the purpose of this trip, he said: "Miss Du, I brought General Liu to you, but I have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

"Please speak up, Lord Liu." Du Ruonan asked.

"As we said earlier, the carriages and glass mirrors produced by my Jingbian Fort are sold exclusively by your Du family. But now the situation has changed, our General Liu also wants to join the gang and sell glass mirrors in Yulin, of course, if possible, he also wants to sell carriages, I don't know if your Du family is willing to let General Liu join the gang and sell glass mirrors and carriages? Liu Renyu asked.

When Du Ruonan heard such a request, he frowned at first, but he thought about it and felt that if he didn't agree, he was afraid that the two generals of the Liu family would be unhappy, and if the two generals were unhappy, he didn't know what trouble would happen.

So she whispered: "Two Liu Ye, such a major matter is not something that a woman can call the shots, and this matter still needs to be decided by my father." Aren't you two just going to rescue Yan'an, when you arrive in Yan'an, please go directly to the little girl's father to discuss this matter? ”

"Didn't you have full control last time?" Liu Renyu was puzzled.

"Last time, my father gave me full authority, and this time it's a big deal, and I can't make decisions on my own." Du Ruonan explained.

"I see, that's it, I'm going to Yan'an, then I'll go straight to your father to discuss." Liu Renyu first said helplessly, and then asked Liu Wuguo: "What does my brother think?" ”

"Then let's go to Yan'an and discuss with Master Du." Liu Wuguo replied.

"That's all there is to it." Liu Renyu replied.

When the two generals of the Liu family discussed the stop, Du Ruonan smiled and said: "The two Liu masters, the wine and dinner have been arranged, let's have a banquet and have a meal, okay?" ”

"Okay, you have a lot of wine and rice in Sihai Restaurant, and the taste is good, we are blessed." Liu Wuguo responded.

"Then thank you Miss Du for your hospitality." Liu Renyu also responded.

"Serve the food." Du Ruonan shouted outside the door.

There were maids one after another, and Xiao Er brought all kinds of dishes to the table.

After the meal was served, Du Ruonan had a meal with the two generals of the Liu family, and the three of them had an in-depth conversation on the glass mirror, the sales prospect of the carriage and other things that were of interest to all three parties.

After this wine and dinner, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo bid farewell to Du Ruonan and left Sihai Restaurant.

When the two rode horses and walked on the road, Liu Wuguo joked to Liu Renyu: "Brother Xian, am I right?" Women can't be the masters, you see, Miss Du still has to listen to her father, don't you say? ”

"The last time we talked about business, it was I who talked directly with Miss Du, and it was also a decision made by Miss Du.

"So, brother, I'm right, right?"

"The elder brother said it well, and the younger brother admires it. Oh, by the way, brother, it's getting late today, brother, are you going to rest in the city, or go back to the barracks? ”

"Back to the barracks, there are more than 10,000 homeless people outside the city, if I don't go back to watch, I'm afraid that some soldiers will see the pretty girl and give birth to some trouble."

"The little brother will say goodbye to his brother here, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will lead the troops to the battle."

"Well, we'll see you tomorrow then."

After Liu Wuguo finished speaking, he took Wei Zhongyi and his other personal guards and left the city.

Liu Renyu took Liu Renjie and others back to the garrison mansion.
